# A guide to copy trading

DEDGE / SOLANA WALLET RESEARCH

Understand a wallet before deciding whether to follow its trades.

## How copy trading works.

A third-party execution tool watches a target wallet and attempts to replicate selected trades. Its settings determine sizing, allowed tokens, exits and spending limits. The resulting trades belong to your account and may perform differently from the target wallet.

## Evaluate a wallet before following it.

Review the sample size, return distribution, holding times and trading costs. A high historical win rate is not enough. Fast sniping or custom-program strategies can be difficult to reproduce with another execution tool.

## Monitor the differences.

Execution delay, liquidity, slippage and transaction fees affect your results. Compare actual fills and costs with the original wallet instead of assuming the reported return will transfer to your account. The Academy includes separate guides for third-party execution tools.

## Research and execution are different steps.

dEdge summarizes closed trades, win rate, net SOL, token count and the spread of per-trade returns. Use these together: a high win rate alone does not tell you how much a wallet gained or lost.

Copy trading uses a third-party service to replicate another wallet’s trades. dEdge provides wallet research, discovery and tracking; it does not execute those trades for you.

## Understand the differences in execution.

Your entry price, transaction timing, fees and slippage may differ from the wallet you follow. Sniping strategies and custom trading programs may not be practical to copy. Historical returns are not a promise of future results.

## Start with the report.

Check its analysis window and last update. Realized trading results differ from the estimated value of unsold tokens. Incomplete transaction history and cached data can affect a report.

Analyze a public Solana wallet: submit a GET request to https://app.dedge.pro/go with the address query parameter. Use a 32–44 character base58 address, with surrounding whitespace removed. Do not provide private keys or seed phrases.

## Take the next step in Telegram.

The Telegram bot supports deeper analysis, discovery and tracking with free and paid plans. Check current entitlements before subscribing.
